High upon my list of releases this Spring is the new solo effort from Dean Wareham, who just happens to be one of my musical go-tos. On this latest single, the song seems like it’s going to be a somber affair, lightly drifting along, guitar notes intertwining with the melody. Listen to the 48 second mark, and you’ll start to hear a new layer of guitar that lifts the song into a superb little pop dance that sparkles like a classic tune from the days of yore. Dean’s new LP, That’s the Price of Loving Me, will be out on March 28th via Carpark Records.

Dean Wareham Shares That’s the Price of Loving Me

February 6, 2025 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Around my house, there’s been a lot of hubbub over Dean Wareham; my wife and I are fighting over who gets to watch the kids while one of us goes and watches Dean do a Galaxie 500 set. But, today, let’s turn our attention to his current endeavor, his new solo LP. While Wareham’s voice always has power over me, the drums on this single are what I keep shuffling back to; they’re offering up a simple gallop, and in that, they also seem to throw in a little bit of a tropicalia influence. Textured string arrangements further the depth, with the guitar working in between the vocal stabs, with the whole of the song taking on this ethereal plot twist that you’ll adore. That’s the Price of Loving Me is out on March 28th via Carpark.

Dean Wareham Announces That’s the Price of Loving Me

January 9, 2025 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Just as I was sliding through my emails, I remembered that today is a day to celebrate, as Dean Wareham announces That’s the Price of Loving Me, his newest solo outing. This album’s production was handled by Kramer, which is the first time the two have worked together in over 30 years, at least in the recording capacity. Still, Dean’s approach is a far cry from the early days of Galaxie 500, taking on more of a psychedelic pop note this go round; the vocals almost feel like blossoming flowers, blooming behind the steady rock of the drums, all of it layered with depth by Gabe Noel’s weeping cello work. Carpark will release That’s the Price of Loving Me on March 28th.
